The One MIL Tax.

The bill introduced by Senator
Ware Friday in the senate, which is
the first bill introduced in the SEN
ate at this session, provides for the
repeal of chapter 287 of the laws OF
1885. That chapter provides that
"there shall be levied and collected
annually, a state tax of one mill for
each dollar of the assessed valuation
of the taxable property OF the state.
which amount. when so levied and
collected, is appropriated to the
common school fund income, aud
shall be disbursed in the same man
ner and under the same conditions
aud restrictions required by law for
the disbursements of the common
school fund income The impress
sion is that Senator Wares bill will
not pass, as the bill of the last SEES.
sion has worked admirably Gov.
Rusk refers to the workings of the
law OF / S85 in his message in the
following words:
.'There was collected by the state, and dis
trbuted to counties for educational purposes,
in 1885, SEQ, 1918 20, and in 1886, S6G0,06399. OF
this last amount, sass, 1891 was derived from
the one mill tax provided by the last legisla-
ure"
1t is supposed that Senator Ware S
bill is aimed at those counties that,
under the method of distributing
this tax, receive more than they con-
tribute to the tax. This is chiefly
true of the new counties in the
northern part of the state where
those who are developing the coun
try do not as a rule own as much
property as older settled communi-
ties. Most members of the legisla-
turc talked with think that this
class of people deserve TO have edu-
cational faculties such as this tax
renders possible, aud that such aid
will in the end revert to the benefit
Of the state at large.

Description of Madame Adams Salon
A Coterie of French Celebrities.

As we were in the habit of passing
some of the winter months in the south
of France, we used to receive before our
departure. and our salon was the first
to open. We ceased our receptions just
at the moment when everybody is over
whelmed with invitations, and running
from salon to salon without having time
to stop in any one; and then, on our re-
turn, we re-opened our salon Just when
other people were closing theirs. Adam
had often spoken to me of Laurent
Pichats evenings, ut which he was n
regular attendant. He talked to me es-
pecially about young man whose name
began to be mentioned good deal in
our circle, Gambetta. who told the men
of 1S4S what he thought of them, with
out mincing his words, saying again
and again that their traditions must be
broken; that it was no good troubling
about the dogmas of the party, which
hampered its action, like swaddling
clothes kept too long around the body
of a child, and that this naive policy
must be replaced by march, step for
step, in the path traced by the enemy.
ITO try to conquer with projectiles
flung from too great height Is mere
Stiffness, " said NJ. Leon Gambetta; 1--WE

enter this debate as a genuine and

A CONNECTICUT man has invented
process for heating cars that has
been successfully experimental With
in that section of the country. 1t
is very simple where there is an
engine, being nothing more than
the utilization of steam from the
boilers. Pipes run up one side OF
the car and down the other, the con-
nection between the cars being tubes
of corrugated rubber. As a sup
plement to the engine, to provide
against such an emergency as the
uncoupling of the engine from the
train, each car has small furnace
attachment, which hangs about
forty.two inches below the floor OF
the car. The temperature of the
car is regulated by system OF
pipes on the roof through which
the steam can be directed when the
car is too hot.
1t is claimed that the steam nee
essary to heat the train will not
cripple the engine, an objection
made by some railroad men, and

OTHER BUSINESS


To The Editor Of the Register.
SIR:-Happening to glance over your
report of the sermon preached last
evening by Rev. Mr.. Atwood, 1 was
much pleased with the simple So
linton which he furnished to my
lifelong p]erpleXities. The Bible contains
so many seeming contradictions to the die
tates of my reason that faith in its divine
inspiration had been rudely shaken and
well nigh shipwrecked. l had been in
the habit Of applying to the Bible the
common sense rule employed in interpre-
ting human language. This rule requires
the words Ofany speaker OF writer to be
taken in their plain, obvious, liberal
meaning, unless there is some manifest
reason for putting on them a tigurative
construction. But Mr.. Atwood has re-
lieved me from the many embarrassments
| found in the application OF this rule to
the Holy Scriptures. Herein is the mas
ter-key to every difficulty. Reverse, says
Mr.. A, the ordinary rule when you
read the Bible. Put q metaphor orcal
figurative construction on every phrase
unless you are compelled to construe it
literally. How simple iS the solution TO
every difficulty. For instance, | have often
wondered like many another good Chris
tian how Christ, the Son of Mary, could
be also God. But that seemed to be the
teaching of the New Testament. The
word was God" THE word was made
flesh" Understood figuratively, these
words contain 40 difficulty. Christ was
not really God; he was so in some mysti-
cal, spiritual manner. Or again, 1.-THE
unquenchable fire, " 1.-THE everlasting fire"
of hell used to be a great stumbling block
to me. Now | see how / misunderstood
the text. 1t is all a metaphor-nothing
more. So too with the words: This is
my body, &C." MY flesh is meat in
deed" The little word indeed here
means-not really meat-Only 6guratively,
and the eternal life promised to those who
eat the flesh and drink the blood of Christ
is some kind of figurative eternal life.
How very plain all this is! How much
all good Christians, who want to believe
in the Bible, but cannot believe that
Christ is God, SC, &c. ought to thank
the learned Mr.. Atwood.

Some Good Advice tn the Committed
Regarding the Bridge Project.
To the Editor Of the Register.
The attention of the committees appoint
cd To consider the railroad bridge project
should be called to the fact that, because
the Wheeling and Harrisburg Railroad
Company has the permit from the Secretary
of War, granted some years since and never
used. to bridge the Ohio river, it does not
necessarily follow that our people are In
the bands of that company and bound to
how in humble subserviency to its demands
if a bridge is to be built. The present
Secretary. of Wa would unquestionably
make short work of this old grant, II it
stands in the way of the public enterprise.
II would be infinitely better to apply to
the Secretary for a permit, than to pay
either money or stock to this railroad CON-
nsuy for that which they can never use
themselves.
Unless the desire of those who hold the
franchises of this paper railroad Is to try
and make something out of u people,
they will give their rights to the Bridge
company without compensation.
II seems evident that the public will
never consent to subscribe a single dollar
of public money for stock in a railroad now
existing or chartered, or allow any railroad
company to " the bridge or control II.
Tho nonnlor dAmand ia "A follows.
/. For a railroad bridge belonging to this
city and county. divorced from any rail-
road.
=. For a company incorporated for the
purpose of building this bridge with the
stock owned by the city and county.
3. For equal facilities in the use of the
bridge to every railroad desiring to cross it.
4. For 4 foot aud wagon bridge as we'll
as a railroad bridge. No old charters Of
doubtful validity are wanted. Will a cor
dial welcome will be extended to all rail-
roads desiring TO come over the bridge, not
a cent should be diverted from this gree
enterprise 10 aid them, and none OF the
money, So badly needed u carry 1t out,
should be wasted in buying out claimants
of a bridge franchise.
Take out a clean new charter, not en-
numbered with any previous issue OF stock,
and, If the way is not made clear by q trans-
fer of the old bridge franchise, let the
Secretary of War be applied to and he will
sweep the cobwebs out Of the way cf TINS
great improvement.

Eighth Ward Fire.

An alarm of fire was sent in from the
Eight ward hose house last night about II
o'clock caused by blaze in a stable belong
ing to August Seerig, situated in the alley
between Eoff and Chapline and Thirty
seventh and Thirty-eighth streets. The fire
got a good Roadway and soon the stable was
a mass of flames, although the department
uuenched it in a short time after they
got water upon it. A new load OF nay had
Just been put in the stable, which added
fuel to the fame. Two Jersey cows were
burned, one persisted in the stable and the
other was burned so badly that when it
was released Officer Brinkman was COM
PEELED to shoot it to end its sutferings. The
cows were valued at 500 apiece. The
entire loss was about 1926, and the stable
is insured.

Many Thanks.

To the Public:
To-day closes the regular championship
season for the Wheeling base ball club, and
a large crowd should turn out to-day's
game with the Columbus team, as a good
game is assured. Make this last day a big
one. The management has done its best
to give the lovers of the game in this city
good bal! playing, and judging from the
very generous encouragement they nave
met with. they feel that their efforts have
been appreciated. They therefore desire
to extend their heartiest thanks to the
patrons of the game, and assure them That
next season they will give them a team
that they will have cause to feel prouder OF
than the one which shut out the Columbus
bows in such a beautiful manner yester-
day. Wheeling has turned out larger au-
diences as q general thing than any town
in the Ohio League, and all the manage
ment asks is such generous support next
year, and if Wheeling doesn't take the
pennant it will be something very remark
able, and the club that does take it will
have to play exceptionally fine ball.
Thanking u patrons again, we ask them
to turn out big to see the last ofthe cham
pionship series to-day, and they Will be
treated to a fine game Of ball.
Very respectfully,
The DIRECTORS.
